From what I've gathered, here are a couple places you can start with:
- Local coffee shops
- Music stores and bookstores (i.e. Eslite bookstore 成品書店, Barnes & Noble, ...)
- Join a local volunteer group you are passionate about (i.e. Habitat for Humanity, Tzu Chi, Red Cross, Animal Shelters, ... )
- Online meet-up groups
- I've heard many people try these online activity groups like hiking, climbing, bike-riding, etc.. Seems to be quite successful in meeting more friends at least.
If you want to try online dating, here are a couple sites to start you out with:
In Taiwan I just heard about this dating site called 2girl.net:
- 2girl.net
- unfortunately it is all in Chinese, so if you can't read/write, sorry.
- you can create a profile and categorize yourself very specifically:
- T (for tomboy)
- P (for 'po' or wife in mandarin)
- Neither but lean towards T
- Neither but lean towards P
- Bisexual
- Male Lesbian <-- what does that even mean??
- Unsure
- Does not wish to disclose
- Still in closet
- Androgenous
- The interesting bit is you get 'points' for browsing and using the features on the site. For instance, if you join a chat group, you get x points and the more you accumulate, you can 'graduate' from a elementary to middle school level, and so on until doctorate or professor titles.
- OKcupid.com
- This dating site is global, not just in Taiwan. I think this has picked up traction in the states but not so much overseas yet. I could be wrong. It has been awhile since I've visited.
- Cool thing is you can also search "gay guys only" or "gay girls only" and choose not to be seen by non-gay people.
- Downelink.com
- This was what the kids used in college and I know at least two couples who met on DL. I prefer OKC though.
If you know of other popular dating websites, please go ahead and share them with other readers of gaysiansays. I'm sure it will be much appreciated since I am by no means a dating site expert.
What do you use for online dating? Any advice on how to meet other H6 people?
